Step 3: Set the output file format and select the file type

Click the To HTML button in the Output Format section of the Working Area. Select the desired file type from the File Type drop-down list below the format buttons. The available options are Plain HTML, Rich HTML and MHT.

If you select Plain HTML format you will receive a page with the .html file extension and a separate subfolder with images (in case your input files contain them). This folder will be named as yourfilename_files. You will be able to view the result with the help of any browser you use.

If you select Rich HTML format you will receive the automatically paginated document with the .html file extension and a separate yourfilename_files subfolder with images (in case your input files contain them) and additional files. You can include a toolbar which contains zoom and navigation controls into the converted file using the Add Toolbar option in the Format Settings section.

If you select MHT format you will receive a single web page archive with the .mht file extension. You will be able to view the result with the help of Internet Explorer or another browser that supports MHT files.

The resulting name will be composed of your text and a file sequence number.
